Pantone Color of the Year
“A Color for All Seasons” Pantone announced the color for 2011 and it is……. hot pink? Honeysuckle. It is a stark contrast to last year’s color – a cool and tranquil Turquoise.

GTD Resources Part I – Online and for Macs
I don’t know about anyone else, but this is a particularly busy time of year, and things are happening so fast that I am left with my head spinning at times.

Work spaces: A look outside a creative mind
Working outside the box, to a creative person, literally means getting out of that darn cube. Creatives and cubicles don’t typically mix because we feed off of color, visuals, materials, texture and really geeky, fun stuff (and a bit of caffeine). Our work spaces often look like our brains exploded, spewing colors, inspiration and random [...] -
Bridging the Gap – Old Art Medium Meets Technology
Sitting in my second year of graphic design school, learning color theory with gauche and elements of design with a ruling pen (that I figured was the same tool used by cavemen in the dark ages) I thought, how is this going to help me in the design world of today? A design world ruled [...]
